===================================
"From the journal of Michael Griffin: it was getting to be a bit much. Rounds were still incoming and the Potato got hit. The guy on the left put a half a clip into him for good measure. I could see a lot, as I was huggin' the ground. It was a lot of fire."
The Stragglers are very close to breaking. Their ammo is running out and there are many dead and wounded. The team needs to hold on for one more round.

Now time to draw initiative for this round.

The room is dimly lit again, giving everyone a -1 modifier to fire combat.
Initiative Step 2 - NPCs (Not Particularly Cooperatives) #1
Straggler #1-2 is the last member of the squad not suppressed. He winged Robinson last round, maybe he can do it again. The range is Short and he will add 2 Ammo die to the dice pool.

Two hits. That is not good. The first round takes Robinson in the head, his helmet removing one point of damage (and becoming degraded), leaving him with 2 an incapacitating him. The second round hits his torso, penetrates his vest and gives him an additional 2 points of damage. Robinson is down for the count.
Straggler #1-4 needs to roll to recover from Suppression. His CUF is C (D8) and he rolls a 8, recovering from his suppression but losing his Fast Action. Since his weapon is jammed, he will attempt to clear it. Unfortunately for him, he does not have the Tech skill, so this will be rolled against his Intelligence.

The blows the roll, breaking his weapon and disarming himself.
Straggler #1-5 also needs to roll to recover from Suppression. His CUF is C (D8) and he rolls a 8, recovering from his suppression but also losing his Fast Action.
The team, like the Stragglers, are nearing the breaking point. Maybe he can put Harris down and sway the odds in the favor of the Stragglers. The range is Short and he will add 3 Ammo die to the dice pool.

A lot of fire, but all ineffective. Harris is still in the fight.
Straggler #1-6 also needs to roll to recover from Suppression. His CUF is C (D8) and he rolls a 4, recovering from his suppression but also losing his both his actions for the round.
Initiative Step 3 - Harris
Now is one of those make or break situations. Hopefully, Harris will not drop the ball. Shooting is not Harrris's strong point though but he needs to do something to save his team. The range is Short and he will add 3 Ammo dice to the pool.
